A poem on Firefighting and some of my feelings.

Out Of Control


Life For Me Is Out Of Control
A Building On Fire
It Starts Slow Just Smoldering
And No One Seems To Notice

The Heat Builds
Flames Start To Grow
The Room Engulfed With Smoke
Breathing is Impossible

I Hope Help Is On Its Way
I Can’t Go On Much Longer
There Are Sirens In The Distance
If I Reach Out They May See Me

My Rescuers Are Here
There Is Cool, Calm Water
The Air Starts To Clear And
I Can Breath Again
